REGIOSTARS is the yearly competition, organized by the European Commission since 2008, to award the best projects financed under the Cohesion Policy. Over the years it has become Europe’s label of excellence for EU-funded projects, which demonstrate the impact and inclusiveness of regional development.
The 2025 competition has just been launched and until 20 May 2025 beneficiaries of Cohesion projects can apply to the awards in one of five thematic categories:
- A Competitive and Smart Europe
- A Green Europe
- A Connected Europe
- A Social and Inclusive Europe; and
- A Europe Closer to Citizens
